Why did the fig become an Internet celebrity bonsai, and what are its special features?

Most people will have seen the fig in some Internet celebrity shops, coffee shops, or more elegant places, it is a kind of Internet celebrity plant, the plant is tall, suitable for growing a large green plant one or two meters high, and can also be raised into a small potted plant 10 or 30 cm high.

Why is the fig so popular all of a sudden? Ficus sinensis itself has high ornamental value and is an ideal foliage plant. However, in the southerly region, especially in the Guangdong area where I live, you can see the figure of the fig everywhere.

However, it is not in coffee shops, but on the side of the road, in the southerner areas, such as Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan, and other places, the fig will be planted as a green plant next to the community or park, and it can also be seen next to some green roads.

Outdoors, a ficus is a bush.

Raised outdoors in a place where there is no frost all year round, the ficus grows very fast, it does not take two or three years to grow into a large cluster, a ficus can become a small forest, the plant can grow to 7 8 meters high, the ficus is not flowery, it is very related to the fig, the ficus that grows outdoors can also bloom to the fruit of figs.

The picture above is the fruit of the fig, which is similar to a fig.

In fact, I am still quite interested in the fig, because after its leaves are picked, as long as they are properly treated, they can take root when soaked in clean water, and they will look relatively fresh, and they can even be grown into indoor hydroponic leaf potted plants.

The treatment method is very simple, the leaves of the fig should be cut together with the petioles, and finally some rooting powder should be prepared, and the bottom of the petioles of the ficus should be evenly smeared with rooting powder, or soaked in rooting solution, about 6 hours, and then re-hydrated and protected, placed on the side of the window sill with ventilation and light, to keep the light bright and avoid direct light.

After that, it is necessary to change the water every two days or so, keep the temperature at about 25 degrees, and generally grow more vigorous roots after about three weeks. I'm not sure if the hydroponic leaves of this ficus can grow small buds, but they can definitely take root.

The leaves of the fig look very unique, a bit like the ancient qin, the leaves are very large, and the leaf surface is uneven, the leaf veins are very clear, so it is very popular, I think its leaves are a bit like the iron fan of the iron fan princess.

It is a tall plant, very ornamental, and can be grown one or two meters tall, so it can be a potted plant. It looks exceptionally fresh and beautiful, especially the leaves, which are hard, violin-shaped, and have distinct veins on the surface.

Because he is very good at farming, and he reproduces quickly, and even cuts his leaves and puts them in water to breed, so many people will make him an indoor water potted plant, and it is still very beautiful, and he will also bear fruit, like a fig.

Because the fig branches and leaves are large, the branches are straight, and it is easy to feed, the emerald green color makes people look very pleasing to the eye, and there are no flowers and no fruits, it is very simple, and the minimalist style coincides, of course, it has become an Internet celebrity potted plant.

Large leaves are more expensive. Ordinary banyan trees are 25 yuan to 80 yuan for 500 grams, and small-leaved ficus trees are about 25 yuan for 250 grams, but large-leaved ficus trees are more expensive, 45 yuan to 90 yuan for 50 grams.

Banyan bonsai**: generally between 120-1600, this also depends on the aesthetic value of the bonsai, the strange shape of the banyan tree, and the artistic conception. Like cultural relics, you need to look at the edge of the eye and the angle of appreciation!

Varieties of banyan trees: alpine fig, willow-leaved ficus, weeping ficus, golden-leaved weeping ficus, linden ficus, Indian rubber ficus, large-leaved ficus, golden-leaved ficus, flower-leaved weeping ficus, etc. These banyan trees are evergreen in all seasons, with beautiful posture, high ornamental value and good ecological effect, and are widely planted in all parts of the south.

Ficus lure is an ornamental banyan tree, the potted plant is larger, but the crown width is larger, so it is best to use a larger square pot to plant, if the pot is too small, it is easy to be top-heavy, and it is very easy to lodging danger if it is windy.

Ficus lure is an ornamental banyan tree, the size of the potted plant is larger, but the crown width is larger, so it is best to use a larger square pot to plant, if the pot is too small, it is easy to be top-heavy, and it is very easy to have the danger of lodging when it is windy.

Growing Environment:The potting soil should be changed every 2-3 years, and the best time to change the pot is between March and April in the spring, so that the plants can grow better.

Whether the ficus is deep or shallow.

Although the root system of ficus is relatively deep and grows downward, it is necessary to plant it in a deep pot, paying attention to leaving a certain amount of space, so that the root system of the plant can grow better.

It is best to use clay pots or earthen pots to plant ficus, because this kind of pot has excellent air permeability and drainage, and it is also ornamental when green plants are paired with white pots.

How to repot ficus.

After the plant is taken out, the root condition should be checked, and the old roots and rotten roots of the base pants should be cut off, and after the wound is dry, it will be loaded into the new flower soil prepared with humus soil and garden soil.

Ficus grandis is suitable for growing in loose and breathable soils with good drainage, and can adapt to weakly acidic soils. For cultivation, you can mix humus soil with coarse sand to use it as culture soil.

It prefers relatively warm temperature conditions, and usually adjusts the temperature to about 28 to meet its growth needs.

It likes full sunshine, but it should not be exposed to the sun for a long time in the middle of summer, otherwise it will burn its leaves.

Ficus is flowering, the flowering period is generally in June to August, pay attention to the temperature of the growth environment must be suitable, otherwise it is easy to miss the flowering period of the ficus, if you want the ficus to bloom smoothly, first of all, it is necessary to ensure the right amount of light and water, home breeding can be placed on the balcony, good light exposure is more conducive to its growth.

1. It can bloom

Ficus can flower, its flowering period is around 6-8 months, it will bloom in the case of proper maintenance, if the environment does not meet the requirements, the ficus will miss the flowering period, although the ficus is a large-leaved plant, but it is also able to flower, and will bear fruit, flowering to ensure the normal of multiple factors such as water and light, fertilizer, etc.

2. Soil selection

Planting ficus to choose loose and fertile and drainage, good air permeability of sandy soil, can use humus, garden soil and sand and gravel to mix, mixed soil can add a small amount of nutrient solution, can improve soil nutrients, promote plant growth and development, ficus branches and leaves are larger and the root system is developed, breeding is to try to choose a deeper pot.

3. Lighting requirements

Ficus lure grows like light, in the flowering period to give enough light, but the light can not be too strong, too strong easy to burn the leaves of the plant, pay attention to shade in summer, if placed in the lack of light environment for a long time to breed, ficus leaves are easy to fade color, and will not bloom, indoor normal sunlight scattering environment can grow.

4. Moisture requirements

The watering of the ficus should follow the principle of watering thoroughly when it is dry and wet, and the plants are generally watered from the edge of the pot, and cannot be watered directly from the top, which is easy to cause water accumulation on the leaves. When the temperature is too high in summer, a small amount of water can be sprayed on the leaves, which can effectively increase the humidity of the environment, reduce the temperature, and ensure the smooth summer of the plant.

Ficus does not grow quickly, and it generally takes 1 2 years to grow into a large plant. When cultivating ficus, coarse sand, peat soil, and humus can be mixed into a substrate for cultivation. Ficus ficus is drought tolerant and needs to wait until the soil is completely dry before watering and moisturizing.

During the growth period of Ficus ficus, it is necessary to apply diluted liquid fertilizer every 10 to 15 days to supplement nutrients.

The ficus does not grow quickly, and the ficus cultivated indoors will not show significant growth in a short period of time, and it generally takes 1 2 years to grow into a large plant. In order to make the ficus can grow vigorously, when mixing soil, coarse sand, peat, and humus can be pressed 2:3:

The ratio of 5 is mixed to make a cultivation substrate, and an appropriate amount of well-rotted cake fertilizer is mixed as base fertilizer.

Ficus ficus drought tolerance is strong, not resistant to waterlogging, in the cultivation of ficus ficus, need to strictly control the amount of watering, can be completely dried up after the water and then watered again, watering can let the water flow slowly along the edge of the pot, from the bottom of the drain hole of the pot, soak all the soil.

During the growth period of Ficus vira, it is necessary to apply diluted liquid fertilizer or well-decomposed organic fertilizer every 10 15 days to supplement nutrition, and it is also necessary to spray diluted potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the leaves of Ficus grandiflora to make the leaves more verdant.

Note that during the growth period of ficus ficus, it is necessary to use sterilized sharp scissors in March and April of spring or August and September of autumn to prune off the leaves with poor growth and yellowing to make the ficus more ornamental. After pruning, the wound should be disinfected by spraying carbendazim solution.

The reason why you can't keep ficus at home is that it is not easy to survive, and the requirements for temperature, moisture, and pots are relatively high.

1. It is not easy to survive

Ficus ficus needs enough nutrients to grow, grass blades are larger, and a lot of water and fertilizer are needed in the growing season, but it is very picky about fertilizer, if too much fertilizer, the leaves are easy to yellow and wilt, if the nutrients are insufficient, the nutrients at the roots of the plant can not be transmitted to the leaves normally, and the plant does not grow well, which will cause the roots to be fragile for a long time, resulting in death.

2. Temperature requirements

The best growth temperature of Ficus ficus is 25 to 35, compared with the human body temperature, the best growth temperature of Ficus is higher than the comfortable temperature of the human body, but it is lower than the hottest temperature in some areas, which is not suitable for home maintenance in most areas, when the ambient temperature is lower than 15 degrees Celsius, the plant will enter a dormant state, and the plant in a long-term dormant state can not grow normally.

3. Moisture requirements

Ficus ficus needs a lot of water in the growing season, in addition to irrigating the soil, it is necessary to spray the leaves of the plant regularly, if the spraying is not timely, the high temperature of the environment is easy to lead to dead leaves, if there is too much water, the leaves can not evaporate water normally, and they accumulate on the leaves for a long time, and they are easy to yellow leaves, the leaves and stems become soft, and the roots rot.

4. Bunshi requirements

The root system of ficus is very developed, when breeding, it is necessary to prepare larger pots for breeding, if the pots are smaller, it is necessary to move the pot regularly, but the annual plant growth of the ficus can reach more than 1m, it is very inconvenient to move the pot, the growth of the ficus needs to absorb a large amount of soil nutrients, and the soil nutrients are insufficient when it can not be completely solved by fertilization, and it is necessary to change the pot.

Maintenance method of ficus ficus

1. Light and temperature

Ficus likes a sunny environment, but in summer it is necessary to avoid strong direct sunlight, and in winter it can be appropriately increased. Ficus can grow well in bright scattered light, and it is best to receive about 4 hours of light per day. The most suitable temperature is 25 -35, its cold tolerance is relatively weak, and it is best to keep it above 5 in winter, so as to ensure safe wintering.

2. Air humidity and watering

Ficus ficus originally grows in tropical American forests, where it requires high humidity. Therefore, in addition to light, we need to maintain a high air humidity and keep the soil moist.

3. Soil and fertilization

Ficus ficus does not have high soil requirements. It can grow in acidic or slightly alkaline soils. We just need to make sure that the soil inside the pot is breathable, so that its strong roots can breathe well.

You can buy nutrient soil directly, or dig up some clean, soft, breathable pine needle soil and add some organic fertilizer as a base fertilizer. The bottom of the pot can be filled with some large particles, such as light stone, volcanic rock, and broken bricks, to increase the permeability of the soil.
